Some airlines are reviving the Saturday-night stay requirement for their most inexpensive fares, writes Scott McCartney in The Wall Street Journal. He notes that the stay requirement is part of an effort to boost fares paid by business travelers. "Of course, the problem the industry has is that discount airlines continue to grow, and business travelers see them as a more-viable alternative as the price gap widens in fares," McCartney notes. "If big airlines run their prices up too high by making discounted tickets unavailable to business travelers, they risk losing customers."

The TSA system that allows travelers to pick a security lane at the airport seems to ensure better traffic flow, The New York Times' Joe Sharkey writes. TSA officials say travelers generally select the appropriate lane. However, Sharkey writes that many security issues continue to irk travelers, including the ban on liquid and gels and the requirement that travelers remove their shoes before passing through security.

Almost all major carriers are now requiring minimum stays for their lowest fares. Travelers who skip the Saturday-night stay will pay up to 50% more for a ticket, experts say. However, they note that the requirement does not apply to all flights.

Some airlines have reinstated Saturday-night stay requirements in some markets. Delta Air Lines in 2005 launched a program that eliminated the requirement and reduced its highest business fares. Continental Airlines President Jeff Smisek said the carrier put Saturday-night stays back in place in some markets to boost revenue.
